booked.

What a gem! Amazing independent bookstore. My daughter loves kids corner in the back of the store. Staff always willing to give great book recommendations . We love supporting this small business.

There is truly something so special about a bookstore. 📚 Call me old fashioned, but technology just can’t compare with the feeling of holding a book in your hand and that ever popular “new book smell.” Booked in Chestnut Hill is on the same page with that belief and has created a space for book lovers to unite. From their website: “booked. aims to bring together everything you might love about books—the romance and novelty of them, the doors they open, the conversations they can start, the communities they can build—into a shared space that welcomes readers of all ages and backgrounds. The shop is set up for browsing, reading, and conversation. We welcome you to come in and explore, ask for recommendations, or sit down and open up whatever piques your interest.” Give them a follow at @booked_chestnuthill to be kept up to date of all the fun events and stories they have to tell! Happy reading! 📖

Booked is such a charming little shop in Chestnut Hill! The Philly pride is present, but not in a garish way. The employees were friendly but not obtrusive. They have a good selection of popular books and books you may not know even existed. Don’t sleep on their cards or miss the minis at the counter.

One of the sweeter bookstores, with a beautifully varied selection of books and knick knacks you wouldn’t find elsewhere. Wish there were more events, but that’s my own wishing! Would recommend (especially for someone looking for a more chill, cozy spot)
